There was Chu Yi waiting next to her, and Ning Zhiqian didn't dare to waste any more time, she put away her drowsy appearance and worked hard to make cakes, walking around in the kitchen.

Chu Yi looked at her with his chin resting, and his eyes followed her back and forth, never leaving her for a moment.Every time she looked over, she would always meet Chu Yi's bright eyes, and see Chu Yi curl her lips and say nice words of encouragement, "Come on."

"En!" Ning Zhiqian was instantly full of motivation.

It was too late, she didn't plan to redo the chocolate cake embryo, but planned to work hard on the decorated jelly and topping.

There is nothing wrong with the jelly. She made ordinary milk jelly and put it in the refrigerator. I will pay attention to cutting it beautifully and matching it with the whole. It will be troublesome to pour the juice. It is necessary to incorporate the herbal medicine that she does not know the name of now. .

Ning Zhiqian was in a hurry before, when she got the herbal tea recipe, she went directly to the market to buy it, and when she finally got it, she squeezed the juice out of a bag of plants without knowing which one was which.Chewie helped her try out the ingredients. She thought it would go well, but she really tried to find that a plant with a bitter, slightly astringent taste and a special taste is not so easy to incorporate into desserts.

She tried twice, the first was to stir with the cream, but the color of the herbal juice was too obvious, and she couldn’t keep the pure white of the cream, so she discarded it directly, and the second time was to simply brush a thin layer of herbal juice on the top of the cake , intending to overwhelm the taste with the sweetness of syrup and cream, but the sweetness and bitterness are independent, completely ruining the taste of the chocolate cake.

At the third attempt, Ning Zhiqian didn't dare to move rashly, she touched the herbal juice in the cup and wondered what to do.

"What's wrong?" Chu Yi asked.

Ning Zhiqian sighed, "I don't know how to use it..."

Chu Yi looked at the herbal juice for a moment, then took out her mobile phone, "Shall I check it online?"

Ning Zhiqian's eyes lit up, "Do you know what kind of plant this is?"

"..." Chu Yi was speechless for a moment, and then said, "Check everything according to the herbal tea recipe."

"I tried it." Ning Zhiqian was annoyed, "The pictures and descriptions on the Internet are similar, I can't recognize them clearly. And very few people would do this, and the things I found are of no reference."

Chuy put down the phone and looked at the first-generation experimental product that looked somewhat similar to Joe's work, "Does Joe ask you to fully restore the cake he made?"

Ning Zhiqian thought about it for a while, and asked uncertainly, "He said guess what, did he mean to restore it?"

"Besides, what did Joe say?"

"Let me make a chocolate cake for him to taste, there is no time limit." Ning Zhiqian thought for a while, then remembered what she said when making mousse, "He originally wanted me to make another kind of dessert."

Chu Yi was quite interested, "Let's start from the beginning."

Ning Zhiqian said it originally, and then discovered the key point, "He said, add your own thoughts like a fruit tart."

Chu Yi smiled, "That's why there is no requirement for restoration. If you can't use herbs, can you use other materials?"

"But..." Ning Zhiqian looked at the herbal juice, "When I made the fruit tart, I used the Riesling that was paired with the reception. This time I just discard the most distinctive taste, is it appropriate?"

"It's appropriate," Chuy said, "Joe has already said it, and I hope you can add your own ideas."

Ning Zhiqian still hesitated.

Joe is an idol in her heart, and she was amazed by the chocolate cake because of the creamy sauce with a light plant fragrance and just the right amount of bitterness to enrich the aftertaste.The material was found with great difficulty, did she throw it away if she didn't know how to use it?

She stood there motionless, Chu Yi sighed softly, got up and walked.

"Zhiqian."

A gentle call sounded, Ning Zhiqian raised her eyes and saw Chu Yi beside her smiling, "Hey."

Chuy held her hand, and slowly and gently squeezed it into his palm.

The warm body temperature came from the touch of the skin, and gradually wrapped her hand that was tangled in the cup.Ning Zhiqian trembled as if being scalded, and couldn't help but relax her strength.

Chu Yi took advantage of this to clasp her hand, took the cup away, and brought it gently to her heart, "Believe in yourself."

Ning Zhiqian looked down at the two tightly clenched hands, and suddenly remembered the strange dream she had a long time ago - when she was about to drown in the ocean of cream, Chu Yi helped her out and pulled her ashore.

In the dream, their hands were clasped together like this.

Ning Zhiqian's heart moved, she nodded, "Okay!"

Her voice was loud, and Chui knew that her vitality had returned as soon as she heard it, she let go of her hands and patted her shoulders, "Come on."

"Hmm!" Ning Zhiqian put away the herbal juice, intending to use it to answer the question "Guess what ingredients are used".It was wrong to store the herbal juice outside, so she packed it in a bottle. When she opened the refrigerator, she glanced at it and picked out the wormwood powder left by her aunt.

Chu Yi also followed and asked, "What is this?"

"Auntie uses it to make glutinous rice cakes." Ning Zhiqian said, "They seem to like to eat this in their hometown. It also has the smell of herbs, but it's not bitter."

"Oh." Chu Yi remembered the word Ciba, "She brought some when she came home during the Ching Ming Festival this year. Can I eat it after keeping it for so long?"

"The powder keeps for a long time."

Chuy frowned.

"You don't like the things stored in the refrigerator, right?" Ning Zhiqian saw Chu Yi's entanglement, "I won't trouble you to try it this time."

Chuy helped her close the refrigerator, and immediately recovered a calm expression, "I can eat other parts."

His tone was full of proof of his stubbornness.

Ning Zhiqian held back a laugh, "You can still accompany me and encourage me."

Chuy snorted softly, "Yes."

Ning Zhiqian pretended to cough so as not to laugh, walked back to the workbench, arranged the materials and got serious again.

When she saw the wormwood powder, she felt novelty. She checked the Internet and learned that the bitterness of the wormwood powder was removed during processing, and the fragrance was retained. Some people also thought that this taste was unique when used in cupcakes. The finished product looked good.However, she couldn't remember other people's recipes, so she added them in according to her own ideas. When the finished product came out, she took a sip and thought it tasted good, then turned to look at Chu Yi, "Do you want to try it?"

Chuy opened his mouth to be fed.

Ning Zhiqian changed the spoon and scooped up some for Chu Yi.

"It's okay." Chuey said, "It doesn't smell like a refrigerator."

"Fridge smell?"

"It just tastes stale."

"Do you think it's okay for Joe?"

"can."

Ning Zhiqian was affirmed, and she felt very happy, and carefully wrote down the usage just now, "Okay, I will show it to Qiao tomorrow... I hope he likes it."

She was still apprehensive at the thought of making a fool of herself, and her voice became weaker and weaker.

"I definitely like it." Chu Yi said suddenly, "If he doesn't like it, I'll complain to grandma."

"Pfft." Ning Zhiqian was taken aback for a moment, and then she couldn't help laughing out.

Is it about the night?How did Chuy become so...

cute.

-

At dawn, Ning Zhiqian took the cake she made and went to work with Chu Yi.Chu Yi was more cautious than before, insisting on sending her to Joe's office in person.

"No need." Ning Zhiqian was quite afraid of being seen by others, "I'll just go by myself."

Chu Yi was curious, "What are you afraid of?"

Ning Zhiqian hesitated to speak.

Secretary Fang began to complain every day, "I am afraid that others will see her and say she is a related household."

"What relationship!" Chu Yi glared at him, "Zhiqian has strength."

Secretary Fang was expressionless, and he used the honorific title but in a completely perfunctory manner, "You're right."

The two bickered back and forth, Ning Zhiqian stood there holding the small cake, at a loss: Is Secretary Fang too powerful to see through everything, or is she writing everything on her face?

"Zhiqian, don't worry about it." After training Secretary Fang, Chu Yi turned to comfort her, "You are capable, and you can enter Hotel C without my help."

Ning Zhiqian didn't dare to nod, but just blinked.

Chewie smiled, leaned into her ear and said, "I'm different. Without my grandpa, I might not be able to sit where I am now at the age of four or fifty."

Ning Zhiqian was stunned, and Chu Yi, who was backed away in a daze, pinched her face.

Secretary Fang was not surprised, and dutifully ordered the bodyguards to form a human wall to prevent the boss from being seen molesting people in public.

"President Chu." The bodyguard in charge of patrolling the neighborhood suddenly grabbed a person over, "This person is hiding and peeping."

"Let go of me." The arrested person scolded in a low voice, struggling in a hurry.

It was a young man, wearing work clothes with the hotel's logo, his stature and appearance were blurred because he couldn't stand up straight, he would rather be carried by the bodyguards than raise his head, and his voice was muffled when he spoke.

Chuy became impatient, "Let him look up."

The bodyguard complied, holding his chin and forcing the man to raise his head.

Ning Zhiqian looked at it and exclaimed, "Why are you here!"

"You know him?" Chu Yi also saw the man's appearance, and she had no other emotions other than contempt. Seeing Ning Zhiqian's reaction like this, she was a little puzzled.

Ning Zhiqian was embarrassed, "His name is Zheng Fangyi, it's... it's..."

The fiancé arranged by her family.

Ning Zhiqian couldn't say that, because only Secretary Fang and Chu Yi knew about the escape, and the other bodyguards thought she was Chu Yi's girlfriend.

"Oh." Chu Yi understood, "Speak in another place."

Zheng Fangyi didn't struggle anymore, took a look at Ning Zhiqian and followed them up to the office on the 28th floor.

After entering the office, Chu Yi let Ning Zhiqian sit on the safest side of the sofa, protected herself with her body, left a bodyguard to control Zheng Fangyi, and asked Secretary Fang to lead the others away.

"Don't detain me." Zheng Fangyi finally opened his mouth, "I can't attack you."

Chu Yi snorted coldly, "What do you want to do?"

Zheng Fangyi raised his head, "Take a picture."

"What?" Ning Zhiqian originally thought that Zheng Fangyi wanted to take her back, but she didn't expect such an answer, so she asked first, "What kind of photo are you taking?"

"Photos of the two of you together." Zheng Fangyi said the whole thing straight away, "I want to take pictures of your relationship and show it to my parents. If they see you and President Chu together, they will definitely call off the engagement."

Ning Zhiqian frowned.

After Chu Yi came to ask for someone, her parents still refused to break off the engagement?

"You don't want to marry me either, right?" Zheng Fangyi saw that she was silent, and said positively, "Let's cooperate and make it clear to my family, can we let them break off the engagement?"

Ning Zhiqian thought of her mother's face, and sighed, "It's not that simple."

Zheng Fangyi turned to Chu Yi, "President Chu, don't you want to make it public?"

"Don't change the subject," Chuy disliked, "Let's explain clearly about the stalking first."

"I've followed you three times. One time was at noon the day before yesterday, one time was yesterday morning, and the other time was caught by you today." Zheng Fangyi didn't know what to think, and he talked endlessly, "Hey, Are you so reserved when it comes to dating? At least hold hands. The photos I took of you walking together are not convincing, and my parents won’t believe it."

"Zheng Fangyi!" Ning Zhiqian couldn't take it anymore, "How dare you make a request!"

Zheng Fangyi was helpless, "Aren't I in a hurry? Your partner is doing well by the side, but my partner went abroad as soon as she got angry! My mother withheld her passport, so I can't chase her if I don't make it clear."

"Then you can't follow!" Ning Zhiqian was angry.

"I'm sorry, I was wrong," Zheng Fangyi immediately changed his attitude, "Can I kneel down for you?"

Ning Zhiqian saw that Zheng Fangyi was really going to pounce forward. If it wasn't for the bodyguards dragging him down, he might really be grabbing the ground with his head, which weakened his momentum, "Uh..."

"Stop!" Chu Yi opened his mouth at this moment, and cast his cold eyes over.

Zheng Fangyi stopped making noise, just kept saying, "I'm sorry."

"Zhiqian." Chu Yi controlled the situation, then turned her head and asked softly, "You make the decision."

Ning Zhiqian shook her head, "Come on, I'll listen to you."

She had no idea, but she was sure of one thing - Chewie would not harm her, and she could trust her wholeheartedly.

Chu Yi solemnly replied, "Okay."

Ning Zhiqian looked at Chu Yi quietly, waiting for the next sentence.

What she waited for was a hugging hand.

"Zheng Fangyi." Chu Yi hugged her tightly, and said seriously, "How can we break the engagement by filming?"
